What grown adult would wear this?

Why would you even model it?!

Is that in the HandM adverts? I could do with a few of these, I have been big anyway for years after my second child, although the wigwam look would be ideal 😄😄 presently!!

SerenityNowwwww · 21/07/2020 23:25

It’s not a wigwam... it’s a dress 🤣

Ethelfleda · 21/07/2020 23:26

My eyes! My eyes!

Nanalisa60 · 21/07/2020 23:27

Will cover my bingo wings!!

But I still think I will give it a miss!,

These dresses are absolutely everywhere. I can think of worst items. I wouldn't wear that one, too bright, but in real life at the right size, they are ok, and so much more flattering on many women than overly tight garments.

I am on a group with women from 20s to 60-70s wearing similar but in different colour (think navy/khaki/black or aztec print, or a few animal print), it's a perfectly suitable casual outfit.

Such an unflattering cut. I’m 5’8 and size 8 and wouldn’t go anywhere near that cut. Fitted or skimming works better on most body types.

JaniceWebster · 21/07/2020 23:51

size 8 and wouldn’t go anywhere near that cut. Fitted or skimming works better on most body types.

you do know that not everyone is a size 8 don't you?
Many women are more comfortable in one-size items, what's wrong with that?

Fashion change, it's refreshing to have a different silhouette. It will be something else next year anyway.

What was last year? cold-shoulder tops and skinny jeans? It was on here that I saw them described as "potato" Grin

Hot air balloon chic

I love it!

Rumbletumbleinmytummy · 22/07/2020 02:51

I actually knew this would be about that dress.

Halloween costume. Villanelle!

stopgap · 22/07/2020 02:57

@JaniceWebster, I hear you. I was responding more to the fact that posters insist this cut works well for tall and skinny. I don’t think it works for anyone!

ThatsHowWeRowl · 22/07/2020 08:41

When I was stood in the queue yesterday in H and M to buy this dress (in black), my daughter did actually say to me 'mummy it's like that thing they put round you in the hairdressers'!

Buggersticks · 22/07/2020 09:45

Imagine trying to iron those sleeves...

Twowilldo50 · 22/07/2020 10:05

I’m that age where the pictures would look more aspirational if the model had brushed her hair and got a bit of lippy on.

natsays · 22/07/2020 11:19

I think it is less shocking than the slugs girls wear above their eyes...

I love it, I also adore shoulder of mutton sleeves with lots of buttons . And I’m 48.

Dontknowwhyidoit · 22/07/2020 21:55

Looks like a dress from a religious cult that is worn by women who have to hide their figures so as not to be seen as indecent. Definitely not flattering

Strangestthings · 22/07/2020 22:12

I love it

SerenityNowwwww · 25/07/2020 18:50

I saw someone wearing this today - or something very like it (it was long on her - she was quite little though) with a snifkin hat. She looked like a witch in her day off. Looked very comfy though.

Apparently these were in five figures - last summer in central London. I almost peed myself.

@PotholeParadise

Reminds me of Anne of Green Gables and her desperation for puffed sleeves.
YES!

(and maybe an 80s throwback. Just google Diana's wedding dress)
